Topic “Electronics”

This course is an extension of the Subsidiary Diploma in Engineering which is a prerequisite for entry, and aims to improve your suitability for the world of work, particularly in electronics. It contains a further 12 modules, including communications and project for engineering technicians. It then goes on to provide you with skills in further maths that will be used to help your understanding of the remaining modules and also provides an excellent introduction for further study at higher education level.

This course is for those who have an interest in electronics and would like to get a more structured view of the subject.

It will start with basics of voltage, current and resistance and go on to explain AC and DC fundamentals. Components such as capacitors and inductors will be explained and supported with practical work where necessary. The effects of these basic components when used on AC and DC will be explained and demonstrated. You will get the chance to use the basics of an industry-standard piece of software to simulate and test the circuits discussed. Basics of Amplifiers will be covered using Integrated Circuits, with a chance to have a go at a design and build.

This course is set up for those who are interested in building electronic projects and who lack the skills or tools to do so. Ideally you will have something that you want to assemble or test, and make a finalised project that you can take away in full working order. There is a limit to what can be done in a 10 week course, but this can also provide you with good practical advice and skills that would enable you to complete a more complex project either at home or by continuing onto the Electronic CAD Basics and PCB Design and Production courses being run later in the year.

This course is especially suitable for those in full-time employment in the electrical and electronic engineering industry, and is designed to provide you with the sound principles required of electrical and electronic engineering.We will take your natural talents in creative thinking, design and technical know-how and put them to work on a range of projects. As an engineer you will work at the cutting-edge of technology, transforming today's ideas into tomorrow's reality.

The demand for electrical engineers with specialist knowledge in renewable energy outstrips supply. Our foundation degree is very practical and is taught within a workshop environment. You will walk away with a comprehensive array of expertise where you will be able to tackle a career in this exciting and emerging industry. Graduates would ultimately expect to become leaders in this rapidly developing field.

This course aims to prepare you for the world of work, particularly in electronics. The subsidiary diploma is a six module course containing core modules on basic engineering safety and electrical/electronic principles. It then goes on to provide you with skills in maths that will be used to help your understanding of electronic devices, measurement and test principles, and provides an insight into basic electrical machines.

This course aims to prepare you for the world of work, particularly in electronics. It contains core modules on basic engineering skills and then goes on to discuss the methods used in circuit construction. In order to do this you will learn about electronic devices and their operation in mobile and other electonic systems. It will also give you an insight into the operation and maintenance of electronic systems.

Electrical, electronic and computer systems form the basis of almost any device you can imagine. On our course you will continue to build up your bank of skills, knowledge and expertise to make a valuable contribution to creating and implementing the technology behind these products. You will be using industry standard software to design simulate and manufacture examples of this technology and become adept at working in the electronic and electrical business environment but also be fully aware of the health and safety aspects that affect your work.
